I have summarised the salient points relating to the Pre from the Palm website. The original website link can be found at the end of this post.

So, What does the Palm Pre offer?

Pre pulls your different online calendars into one view, bringing you the information you want without having to search for it. Pre links your contacts from different sources, giving you one place to find what you need.

Pre also delivers incoming messages1 and notifications in an intuitively subtle way, letting you react or respond however you want. And if you have the same contacts in different places, Pre can link them together, making it easy to find the information you need.

Keep multiple applications open and move easily between them—email, maps, photos, websites, whatever.3 Pre thinks of your applications as “activity cards,” and lets you flip through them, move them around, or throw them off screen. Things like text messages and calendar appointments appear as notifications at the bottom of the screen.

An incredibly fast browser brings you websites the way they were meant to be seen. Simply start typing to begin searching your contacts, applications, Google, or even Wikipedia. Universal search narrows down the possible results as you type, so it’s easier to find what you need.

Thanks to Synergy, all your conversations with the same person are grouped together in one chat-style view.

Slide out the keyboard for faster and easier texting. Close it up and rotate Pre for music, websites, photos, and videos in full widescreen glory.

Use of this device requires providing a valid email address, mobile phone number, and related information for account set-up and activation.
